As with all auto-immune diseases, our immune systems are compromised making us more susceptible to viruses and infections. For many, when we do get sick, it feels worse because we do not have a strong immune system to fight it off and/or it can lead to a flare up which makes us feel even sicker. So, we have to be extra careful to avoid exposure to environments and/or people who might make us ill. I wish you the very best.

My dr said that the cellcept affects the bad part of the immune system more than the good, but I don't know if MTX is the same. I was absolutely floored by a cold this weekend. I actually stayed in bed, which is something I avoid, but I was so poorly and exhausted.
I do find that if I get something then I am usually quite poorly, but I'm really really careful as a habit because I have five children and they were always bringing something home when they were little!
